Week #20

Hola Familia!!

Sorry
I´m writing so late, but we had a zone conference today and so that´s
why we´re writing right now! The zone Conferences with President Parreño
are incredible. I have a testimony of leaders in the church of Jesus
Christ. No matter who is called, these men and women are called of God
and they receive revelation in our behalf. Part of being a disciple of
Jesus Christ is being able to humbly follow the leaders that he calls.
Sometimes it takes humility to follow our leaders, but know that they
are inspired by God in our behalf. The same goes with parents. Be
obedient to your parents. I´m so grateful for Mom and Dad who have
received revelation in my behalf and have lead our family so that one
day we can reach our goal of having an eternal family. Teaching and
sharing about eternal families every day has helped me realized just how
lucky and blessed I am to have a family that follows Jesus Christ. I
truly love you all so much and all of your examples. The joy I have
knowing that Dallin is serving and that Collin is going to serve is
incredible. It´s a blessing extremely great in my life. Memories of
looking and Dallin and Collin every night before bed as they read the
scriptures and talked with Heavenly Father are memories that I can´t
express. Their examples to me have affected my life now on the mission
and will affect my life forever.

I
have learned a lot from Elder Jones. He´s very humble and we get along
well. I´ve had to learn the streets better, better my spanish, and know
the ward members a little better because he doesn´t know the area.
Because of that, I´ve grown SO MUCH this week. My spanish improved and
is improving so much right now. It´s been a great blessing to me.

We
have an investigator, Daniela. She has a child and lives with her
boyfriend but doesn´t want to get married. She knows the church is true.
She´s read almost all of the Book of Mormon. She even takes notes in a
notebook (better than my notes haha). The thing that´s holding her back
is Fear. She doesn´t want to leave him in fear for her child and also in
fear of him. We´ve prayed a lot for her and there´s nothing else that I
want to see right now but to see her start a new life starting with
Baptism. She´s lived a difficult life. She has 4 sisters that I think
will follow her example if she takes the leap of faith.

A
great thing happened this week in church. Martin picked up Cejas and
they walked to church and arrived in time! They´re both faithful and
come to all the meetings and love church. The joy is so great right now
because they´re both receiving the Melcezidek (spelling?) Priesthood
next week!

I
hope this week is great for everyone!! It´s starting to get hot here!!
haha I love you all and I thank you for the love and support. It means a
lot. Love you!!

P.S. I forgot to put this in my letter, but Martin has been leaving with us
some nights for a few hours and he knocks doors with us. He bears his
testimony and he says he loves it. It´s been such a miracle to see his
progress and his ability to overcome challenges in his life because of
his love for Jesus Christ.
